How has your research changed any of your viewpoints about cancer?

“Before coming here, I knew cancer was when you have a tumor cells growing uncontrollably and sometimes they end up in a different organ than where they started in and that makes it worse. But, I didn’t know anything else about it.”

What is your stance on public engagement in science in cancer research?

“It’s very important. Especially with what’s going on right now, the NIH budget is in danger of being severely reduced. And I feel like people should realize that that’s not something that should happen. People die of these diseases. We could do something about it if there is funding available for it.”
